- WOWIEEEEEEE I am in love with this book. This might have been my most immersive reading experience since I was a kid and obsessed with Greek mythology. I'm so glad I gave it a chance. It just makes me so happy to see a gay love story become a New York Times bestseller. It's beautifully, lyrically written, but not at all difficult or dense. I cried like a dang baby, and I hope you did/will too. This book is all I want to talk about now. I just wanna say this and this and this about it!! Tell me your thoughts on this gorgeous, tragic tale. AND DON'T SPOIL CIRCE.

You gave me so much inspiration for my writing. People like you make me believe that I have many to write for. Thank you! Regev from Israel.
Aww it’s great to hear that you had this experience. Feeling that childlike excitement and being so sucked in to the story. I miss this! I totally get the desire to wipe your mind clean and read it again for the first time. Loved this video! Great thoughts, the structure, the video looks perfect and you are beautiful!
You look like a GODDESS!
Yay thank you!! That’s what I was going for 🤩✨✨
So true, yet my first thought was, 'that's what Helen of Troy must have looked like!'.
Always a good day when Saoirse drops a video. I hope life is treating you well today fren. And you look fabulous today
Hi Saoirse, just responded to your pick Osamu Dazai... thanks again for the recommendation. Currently on a review binge of the rest of your channel. Fabulously engaging and insightful. Gareth, Dublin
If you’re into Greek Mythology and sci-fi ,.. you might like the book Illium by Dan Simmons. It’s my absolute favorite book!.. it merges Greek mythology with epic sci-fi and a little Shakespeare as well. I’ve read it three times, and there’s a sequel called Olympos that I still haven’t read because I just don’t want the story to be over. I highly recommend it, Saoirse! P.S. you look stunning!!
omg I was JUST thinking about buying this book.
''I would recognise you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognise you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion''.”
I am always the gremlin reading in my bed at night hahah
you know google recommends your video if you search this book name on internet
Hi there, I just stayed up all night reading this book to the end and i searched everywhere for the "this and this and this" quotes and couldn't find it anywhere. Thank you so much for this. (And this and this. 😭🥹)
